Affiliate Disclosure

This site is free to read because of affiliate commissions. Here is precisely how that works, what it costs you and what it does not change about what you read. The boats themselves are compared on the Phuket boat tours page.

The short version

When you follow a booking link from this site and book, the platform may pay us a commission — typically a single-digit percentage of the fare. You pay the same price you would have paid going there directly: $51 is $51 either way. If you do not book, nothing is owed.

Who you are actually booking with

Every tour compared here is sold through GetYourGuide and operated by an independent Thai company — Sea Angel Cruises, Good Morning Holiday, Queen of Andaman, Sawanu Travel, Go Thailand Adventures or Seanery. The operator runs the boat; the platform takes your payment and holds your booking.

We are none of those parties. We cannot confirm a seat, move a date, chase a refund or promise you a pickup time.

What commission does not buy

Commission rates do not set the order of the comparison table, and no operator has paid to appear on this site. Our pick is the tour with the lowest cost once the national park fee is counted, which is not the most expensive listing and is not the one that pays most.

Where a tour has a weakness — a small review base, a bumpy low-season crossing, a fee collected in cash at the pier — it is written down on the page, next to the booking button.

Prices and terms

Prices, availability, inclusions and cancellation rules are set by the operator and the platform and are confirmed at checkout on their site. Every figure here carries the month it was read — August 2026 at the last check — and all six tours listed allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. National park fees of 400 THB in Mu Ko Phi Phi and 300 THB in Ao Phang Nga are set by the park authority, not by the operator or by us.
